Mayor Mick pedals to transit meeting in Meeker

Walking your talk can be challenging. Bicycling your talk in a world devoted to the automobile is almost impossible. So it comes as no surprise that newly elected Aspen Mayor Mick Ireland was the only attendee at the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Transportation Panel meeting in Meeker to arrive by bicycle.

The 6 hour trip in a headwind gave Ireland a up-close view of some of the transportation challenges confronting the state.
